Today is 4th Sunday of Advent but it also is another reason for celebration. My nephew turns three today and though I can't be there to celebrate with him in person, I am very excited and can't wait till I see him for Christmas.
It's funny with birthdays, for little ones every year is a big deal. For the past three years I have been excitedly looking forward to every milestone (a year, 18 mos, 2 years, etc.) expecting to see this overnight change. I haven't noticed any changes in me since my 18th birthday (I really think I haven't changed much) folks who haven't seen me in over 18 years still recognize me.
I am looking forward to a chatty Eli, a big boy who doesn't have to cling to his tia in order to fall asleep and one who is now open to sharing. After all, he's a big boy today :)
